About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To finish building my school bus into a home, to finish my bachelors degree, and to apply to grad school, write poetry and play music every day

ABOUT ME

I am a young exhuberant human being, and love going to new places and getting into the community there to really feel it. I love sharing poetry and art with others in whatever capacity is possible. I am learning guitar right now and love my community and family in extreme amounts. I have gotten into Blues Fusion dancing this year which has been mind expanding. I am a thoughtful communicative and feelingful person with a lot of compassion and heart to share.

PHILOSOPHY

The Universe Provides

Pura Vida

Blessed is this life, And I'm gonna Celebrate BEING ALIVE

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have had a few great experiences with Couchsurfing. I have hosted three people so far, and very successfully, and have surfed at a few places as well. I love everyone that I have met and am so excited to meet more amazing people through this wonderful tool!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in Boston with an awesome woman I met on the train named Pooja who took me in with open loving arms.

I also had my first official couchsurfing experience in Vancouver Washington.

I hosted two wonderful boys from the East Coast and showed them San Francisco a bit and drove them up to my hometown and played in all our free time! We cooked and had a blast. I also hosted a wonderful young man from Santa Cruz who is just awesome and then I went and stayed with him! So fun!

Interests

Poetry, Cooking whole foods for people I love and people I just met, Gluten free baking from scratch, dancing dancing everywhere! Singing every day, picking fresh herbs from gardens, hiking, crystals and stones, astrology (novice), making my friends laugh, learning guitar and traveling to new places I have never been and meeting locals!

Music, Movies, and Books

Any books that make my heart soar or my mind think, or feel like I'm transported somewhere.

Music...everything. I love a lot of old stuff my parents raised me on and a lot of new stuff. Brett Dennen, Billy Holiday, Fleetwood Mac, Neil young, Jim Croce, Hozier, Van Morrison, Amos lee, Ray lamontagne, Broken Bells, Dar Williams, Iron and Wine, Lynx, Ratata, DJ DragonFly, Ayla Nereo, SO MUCH MORE!

Movies...ahhhh. Good ones without a lot of violence...I'm sensitive. : ) Movies that make me laugh or cry. Good character development, interesting plot, beautiful cinematography.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Turkey this summer for a month. I went to a place called Kabak Koyu, if you go to Turkey this is a place you cannot miss. I also got to participate in a Sufi Whirling festival where they were doing Sema for 100 days straight, 24/7 in Yalova. I did sema in the durga to keep the days going. It was really interesting and fun. I also did worktrade at a farm in Turkey.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about something I do called Process Coaching, it is a toolbox for teaching you to be your own healer. I love sharing the tools!

I am a chef and would love to teach anyone anything I know about it.

I want to learn more about sustainability in every sense of the word- anything you can teach me I will try to absorb.

I am continually learning spanish and would love help with it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Poetry, Food, my heart.
